Muni's PlayKena Upanishad Verse 1.3
This verse highlights the transcendence and unknowability of Brahman through ordinary means. It is beyond the reach of the senses and the mind. Because It is distinct from everything known and even beyond the unknown, It can only be understood through the traditional instruction of realized teachers.

Translation
The eye does not go there, nor speech, nor mind. We do not know That. We do not know how to instruct one about It. It is distinct from the known and above the unknown. We have heard it so stated by preceptors who taught us that.
